2.12

「須菩提!譬如有人其身妙大。」須菩提言:「世尊!如來說人身妙大即非大身,是故如來說名大身。」佛言:「須菩提!菩薩亦如是。若作是言:『我當滅度無量眾生。』則非菩薩。」佛言:「須菩提!於意云何?頗有實法名為菩薩不?」須菩提言:「不也。世尊!實無有法名為菩薩。是故佛說一切法,無眾生無人無壽者。」

"Subhūti, suppose there were a person whose body was wondrous and great." Subhūti said, "World-Honored One, what the Tathāgata calls a person's body being wondrous and great is not a great body; therefore the Tathāgata calls it a great body." The Buddha said, "Subhūti, a bodhisattva is also like this. If they speak thus: 'I will liberate immeasurable sentient beings,' they are not a bodhisattva." The Buddha said, "Subhūti, what do you think? Is there really a dharma called a bodhisattva?" Subhūti said, "No, World-Honored One. There is truly no dharma called a bodhisattva. Therefore the Buddha says that in all dharmas there is no sentient being, no person, and no one with a life-span."
